New Orleans, stand the hell up! Today, two of the city’s most prominent rappers, Lil Wayne and Rob49, decided to link up for a new collaboration track called “Wassam Baby.”
So, what does “Wassam” mean? In New Orleans, it’s similar to saying “What’s Up.” So, what does Rob49 and Lil Wayne linking up mean for the city? It represents a merging of the city’s past and present. In “Wassam Baby,” their chemistry is outstanding.
“Wassam Baby” propels forward with an energetic tempo, a feature I particularly enjoy. Fueled by a Southern-inspired beat adorned with haunting piano notes and robust bass, the chemistry between Rob49 and Lil Wayne effortlessly takes center stage. Both artists confidently deliver verses about turning chicks out, financial success, and claiming the attention of women who may be involved with others. Though it’s Wayne’s feverish verse that I rock with the most, Rob49 does keep up with the legendary rapper by hitting us with this cold, relentless style of rapping. Overall, I think this collaboration is a success.
I would actually love a collaboration album with Rob49 and Lil Wayne.
